- USB to Serial Driver for CP2102:
Xplore UNO requires a USB to Serial driver to installed on the computer in order to connect to computer and program from it. Xplore UNO uses CP2102 as USB to Serial convertor, please download and install the drivers from this link.
- Arduino IDE and Software:
Please download the Arduino software from the Arduino Website.
Differences between Arduino Uno R3 and Explore One
| Feature | Arduino Uno R3 | Explore One | Remark |
|---|---|---|---|
| USB to Serial IC | Atmega16u2 | CP2102 | The Arduino UNO R3 uses a dedicated micro-controller, the USB to serial firmware can be reprogrammed and upgraded. Explore One uses CP2102 from Si Labs. |
| Power Management | Uses comparator to detect USB power and jack power. | None | Makes better power management |
| Design Software | Eagle | KiCAD | KiCAD is opensource PCB Design Software, check our tutorials here |
| Manufacturing Country | Italy | India | hence a affordable here! |
